Rahul Dravid Wins Hearts by Setting Up Voting Center – Cricket News Video

Dravid, just like a common man, stood in the queue before he had the opportunity to cast his vote for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections. He also urged people to come out and vote. After casting his vote, Dravid spoke to the media and emphasized the importance of voting in a democracy, stating, “Everyone must come out and vote.

It is an opportunity we get in a democracy.” Dravid’s former teammate and legendary Indian spinner Anil Kumble also exercised his voting rights in Bengaluru. Karnataka, which contributes 28 seats in the 543-member Parliament, is in the midst of polling in two phases.

On this day, 14 seats are being contested, including Udupi Chikamagalur, Hassan, Dakshina Kannada, Chitradurga, Tumkur, Mandya, Mysore, Chamarajanagar, Bangalore Rural, Bangalore North, Bangalore Central, Bangalore South, Chikballapur, and Kolar. During the 2019 elections, Karnataka saw the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) secure 25 out of the 28 seats. This time around, the BJP is contesting in 25 seats, while its state ally Janata Dal (Secular) vies for the remaining three seats.

The three constituencies contested by JDS are part of the second phase – Hassan, Mandya, and Kolar. Voting began at 7 am and is slated to conclude at 6 pm. The third phase election will be held on May 7.
